About
This utility provides a command that will automate downloading files and creating clips out of them.
Uses yt-dlp
to do the downloading of files and uses static_ffmpeg
to do the actual cutting.
Windows
For easy use, just download the run_ytclip.bat
file and place it into any folder you want. Now you have a double clickable icon for users that don't like going to the command line. Make sure you've installed the latest python, checking the box that says "ADD TO PATH" during installation.
